To look for the Prince of the Tambourine star-world...
the one with a twinkle in his eye...
Comet has come all the way to the distant world of Earth.
Foremost in Comet's mind is the bright light of Keisuke-kun, who she watches over constantly.
But it is not just him that twinkles. All life has a shine.
Comet... won't you look away for a minute?
You'll see the radiance closest to you...
Incredible.
Each day, the ocean shows me a different face.
Sometimes furious and raging, sometimes flat as a mirror.
Sometimes she's playful...
Sometimes she's a dazzling gold.
At night... the Milky Way...
stretches to the horizon like a bridge of stars.
Who created such a world?
I don't know.
To craft this jewel over billions of years... must take a genius.
What's so amusing?
Well, Keisuke just said something funny.
Huh?
A genius...
made the Earth!
But he never talks like that?!
Right?
But... Who did make all this?
This celestial body?
Yup.
It'd have been a little star once.
And so... it was born...?
Just randomly?
Uh... well...
I don't really know myself.
Too hard?
Oh no! Time to pick them up!
Ah, today's special!
Huh?
They're doing arts and crafts today! School will finish late.
Oh right!
I wanna step up. I wanna wake up.
I wanna make up. PERFECT!
Comet-san!
Yes!
I wanna come up. Just like so?
MIRACLE~ I just say "Étoile!"
Dash and click your heels— GO!
POWERFUL~ I just say "Étoile!"
Always being myself!
Every new morning, I get up early!
Take a deep breath and... let's get started!
I wanna step up. I wanna wake up.
I wanna make up. DIRECT!
I wanna stand up. I wanna go up.
I wanna come up. Won't I be fine?
MIRACLE~ I just say "Étoile!"
Whistle at full volume— GO!
POWERFUL~ I just say "Étoile!"
Always being myself!
Playing with Clay and Star-power
Okay, pay attention everyone!
Today, we've invited Kashima-sensei to give a special lesson.
Nice to meet you all!
Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!
Oh? You all look lively today!
Let's take a look!
So let's all make this clay alive too!
Knead, knead...!
Punch, punch...!
Make it come to life!
Look!
What is that? What is that?
A lively monster!
Well? You lot, do it too!
Make whatever you like!
Okay!
You don't have to hit it!
Rolling works.
Knead it if you like!
Haah... That looks fun!
Princess, do you want to do it too?
Yup! For sure!
I think I'm allowed!
Her Highness wants to do little kid stuff!
Though... I do want a closer look too...
Roll, roll, roll!
Twist twist!
What are you making?
It's Nyoronyoro!
Nyoronyoro?
Mine's Cutie!
Oh wait!
Comet-san is here!
Didn't notice me?
Slam...! Slam...!
Slam!Slam!Slam!Slam!Slam!
Geeehhh~!!!
Big-eyebrow Gen-chan?
Gen-chan's crying!
What's wrong?
I can't make 'im alive!
Wha...?
That isn't made of clay!
It's not clay?
Sorry... But that's my friend!
Isn't that Rababou?
Her stuffed toy?
Looks like it.
I wanna eat it.
Are you okay, Rababou?
I should be the one crying.
Just a little mistake.
Have another go, okay?
Yep.
What is she doing?
Seems she's playing with clay.
She's not honing that boy's twinkle...
nor is she seeking out others... What is Comet doing?
I said, seems she's playing with clay.
At this rate, Mother will come to educate me again!
What do I do?
I'm not made of clay!
What dooo I dooooo?
We're leaving.
Nyaaah! Princess!
Everyone done?
Yes!
Haha!
Cute, right?
Now this is good.
What is it?
My very own baby star.
How can anybody tell?
Your moms are here to pick you up.
So class is almost over!
Alright!
Hold on!
What'cha say?
Gen-chan?
I'm not finished yet!
But your Mum is here already.
Gen...
I want to keep going, I'm almost done!
Comet-san?
Isn't it home time?
Yeah, that's right.
Understood.
I'll stay till it's done.
You will?
I'll stay behind too!
Uh.
Huh?
Take your time and make something awesome!
Yup.
What will it be?
Can'tcha tell? It's my favourite!
Can'tcha tell?
Gen-kun speaks the Kansai dialect.
That's why he says "Can'tcha" and "What'cha".
Ehh? So he's from the Kansai star!
Uh.
Sorry 'bout this. My boy's a real brat.
It's no big deal. Everyone's different.
I agree.
Finished!
It's a Kaiju! It's a Kaiju!
Kaiju? What'cha mean?
It isn't?
If ya want it to be...
Well, it's very lifelike.
Oh yes! Almost like it's moving!
What'cha mean? It's just clay.
I meant... Gen-chan really poured'cha soul into it.
Ya Kansai accent sucks!
Heheh.
It's 'ome time!
Hey, maybe it really can move.
Oh no, Princess...
See ya later!
JUMP!
Oh little stars...
Please give me your power
Please all focus your power
into one radiance!
Princess, isn't this an abuse of star-power?
Gen-chan worked very hard on his creation.
So he deserves a reward.
Ah, she's back!
Comet-san, hurry, burry!
Let's go!
We're off!
It's locked.
So it is.
Breaking and entering is a crime!
Don't worry.
Heed me, trillions of little stars.
Transform your radiant shine
and your many powers
into my star-power...
Étoile!
Do Tsuyoshi's Nyoronyroro too!
Do Nene's Cutie too!
Okay.
It's moving!
It's wiggling about!
Now, I'll open the door to let them out.
That was rude!
Kaiju-san, you can't do that!
This is bad! It's not obeying!
It's as bratty as Gen-chan!
Life-power is... a lot.
Comet-san!
What about them?
There!
—There!
This is all because of your carelessness!
I have to catch up!
Woah... what the...!?
Our clay Kaiju did that?
We're in trouble.
The little one is mad!
Where did it go?
Jeez... It's way past your bedtime.
I'm not tired.
Nene isn't tired at all.
No way. Mama will be worried.
Rababou, take them home.
I got it...
JUMP!
I have to find it fast...!
There!
Wait!
Why...?
Why won't you obey me?
Didn't star-power create you?
Just like Rababou...
What are you after?
Wait!
Here I go!
I'm slipping...!
Stop!
Don't use your roar!
I see.
What's that?
Kaiju-san...
Princess!
It's gonna be okay! I called in some help!
Why are you out at this time?
Staying up late is bad for you!
We're already okay, Rababou.
Eh? Really?
So the clay Kaiju just wanted to see Gen-chan?
Yes.
He wanted to see his creator.
He got suddenly so big...
... just so he could reach Gen-chan's window.
Sorry for scaring everyone.
No, no~!
I'm in trouble.
What is it?
Somehow, I'm feeling sorry for him.
It'd be sad to turn him back.
What are you suggesting? Not turning him back?
He has thoughts and feelings.
Feelings?!
Comet-sama is very compassionate.
What do I do?
No! Definitely no!
I've got an idea.
At last, a good idea!
I haven't said anything yet.
What's your idea?
Étoile!
Kaiju-san, would you like to stay here?
Make yourself at home!
What's wrong?
He looks lonely.
Seems he'd rather be with Gen-chan.
But... all he has to say is "What's that?"
"What's that?"
Why that reaction?
Guess he doesn't want us to call him a "that".
Comet?
Is it Comet?
Aunt Spica-sama!
C-Comet...
I see. This was your fault, Comet.
My fault?
Yeah.
Why?
You gave that child life, right?
Yup.
Life is no trivial matter.
I know, creating it is an amazing thing.
It is amazing, so don't do it.
Life is a precious thing.
It is a responsibility to be guarded and nurtured.
As a Star Princess, don't you already know?
Isn't it your duty to guard and nurture the little stars?
Yes.
She's getting a talking to.
Miho-san is her Auntie, after all.
Comet-san has a lot to learn from her.
In that case...
What?
It's time for me to leave.
Sorry if I seem all high and mighty.
It's actually what I've been telling myself.
Yourself?
Princess!
What is it?
I've been sensing a twinkle around here...
but I can't tell where it's coming from.
You can't tell, Rababou?
Huh?
It's... It's the twinkle of a small being!
Could it be...?
A baby...?!
Aunt Spica-sama... is going be a mother!
What? What was that about Comet?
I said Comet-sama did something wrong.
Apparently she has a lot to learn.
Ah. Comet is always doing things wrong.
However, it's important to learn from one's mistakes.
Only then can a Princess be trusted with the future of the Triangle Nebula.
But what can we do?
Our Kaiju doesn't have a Mama to raise him.
Mhmm...
His star-power is running low...
He'll turn back to clay soon.
I'm sorry.
Geh geeh?!?
It's gone!
Ma clay model is gone!
Oh that's...
That's...
Fine! I was gon' make it again!
Why?
Y'all call it a Kaiju! It's 'posed to be a dog!
A dog? A dog?
With how y'all went "Kaiju, Kaiju"...
I even dreamed of one!
I prefer dogs, okay?
Dogs.
What's it doing?
I-I don't know!
Ah! There!
It's not a Kaiju...
It's not.
Right! I see now!
It's cuz I poured ma soul into it.
Look, it's ma very own dog!
What'cha say! What'cha say!
So in the end...
He wanted to become a dog.
He was a good boy.
Little star, I'll have a nap now.
Maybe you'll learn from me and become a Napping-star too.
Princess, are you play-raising a baby star?
Yup, I'm training.
A quick nap does sound nice.
Looks like they're asleep.
What, what, what?
This counts as Princess training?
That's hilarious! So hilarious!
It's making me drowsy too...
Mook, you woke me. I didn't sleep enough.
But P-Princess, what about me? I didn't even sleep at all!
The radiance closest to you...
comes from yourself.
If you improve yourself, that light becomes brighter.
The duty of nurturing the little stars of the Triangle Nebula...
That will fall to one of these two.
But, no matter who it will be...
that still feels like a distant dream.
